Whiteboard: We Give Thanks

On Thanksgiving Sunday we will gather to...well, to give thanks obviously!

As we prepare our hearts for Thursday's Thanksgiving holiday, come worship with us at FCC Scottsdale as we take the time to give thanks to the Lord for the rich blessings we have received.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer wrote, "In ordinary life we hardly realize that we receive a great deal more than we give, and that it is only with gratitude that life becomes rich."

So this Sunday we'll gather in the strengthening bonds of community to give thanks to God. Come and join us!

John 18:33-37 The Eternal Kingdom

Then Pilate entered the headquarters again, summoned Jesus, and asked him, ‘Are you the King of the Jews?’ 

Jesus answered, ‘Do you ask this on your own, or did others tell you about me?’ 

Pilate replied, ‘I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests have handed you over to me. What have you done?’ 

Jesus answered, ‘My kingdom is not from this world. If my kingdom were from this world, my followers would be fighting to keep me from being handed over to the Jews. But as it is, my kingdom is not from here.’ 

Pilate asked him, ‘So you are a king?’ 

Jesus answered, ‘You say that I am a king. For this I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.’
